By . FREE PORT DISTRICT AT VANCOUVER PLAN OF BUSINESS MEN Matthews Point, Opposite Mouth p'f .Willamette River, Recom- mended as Best Location. . .Establishment of a free port' district of "Vancouver," Wash., Is proposed by a committee of business men ot4 (hat city. A. L. Haley, an engineer : re tained by the port of Vancouver, has Just returned from ; an' extended trip through eastern cities." where he made a study of terminal and port facilities with a view of outlining a plan for 'the proposed free port. A preliminary survey submitted by Haley to the commissioners of the port of Vancouver Saturday recommends the land known as Matthews Point, just opposite the ' mouth, of ' the Willamette river, as the best location available for the free port. This, district comprises tOO acres purchased by the 1 1111 interests at the time the 8., P. A S, railroad was built. Adjoining this ' property on the north is a tract of several hundred acres surrounding : Vancouver lake, which 'can also be used for free port purposes, according' to Haley. ':i Vancouver ' lake covers an area- of mo r .than 2500 acres, all of which be long to the port of Vancouver. It is proponed to dredge 'a channel to the lake from the Columbia river and util ize the lake as a fresh water harbor. Several hundred acres t low land sur rounding" the lake could be reclaimed by filling .from the dredging operations and ma0e suitable for railroad termi nals, warehouse and factory sites, according- to Haley's plan. ' Sketches- of port facilities submitted by the port engineer include a pier 1000 feet long and 600 feet wide, wit!, ware houses extending, down the center and transit itheds along the sides. A Quay wharf 5000 feet long and 365 feet wide Is also suggested. The canal from the Columbia river to Vancouver lane wouia t a quarter of a -mile in length and 500 feet wide, with depth to accommo date large ocean carriers. Haley claim that the proposed free port could be easily isolated from, sur rounding territory ' and that it meets every requirement of the free port bill now before congress.
